For short rides or the casual user, you don't need this but if you ride regularly or for long rides, these bike computers last a long time and save your battery in your phone.
Nothing worse than your phone battery draining in the middle of the ride.

Yes, a ten dollar battery is a great option for the casual user but for the avid cyclist who likes to record their metrics for every ride and also live in the Garmin ecosystem where everything is synced and plays nice together, a small head unit that allows you to ride 100 miles without worry of running out of juice is the way to go.

I personally am a data junkie and like that it calculates my VO2, cadence, effort, speed, distance, elevation, lactate threshold and also works with my rear light and radar so that I can see when a car is approaching.

It does so much more than I listed but hopefully, you get the idea.

Hope this helps

I always wonder why people make up random things in posts like these. This exact model was this price a couple months ago and has been this price off and on for a while. What's "rare" about that?

Ignorance is bliss.
If you don't know why you need a cycling computer, you definitely don't need a $600 MSRP cycling computer.
Chi-ching. That's the slickest deal of all!

Here is why I use a cycling computer vs. a phone:

I prefer to not bring a phone on rides. Cycling computer stays mounted in front of me, and keeps a lightweight profile. Cycling computer is ANT+ capable. Cycling computer has significant battery life over my phone; and significant weight reduction vs my phone + a battery pack or two, for sure.

Long story short - in Cycling convenience and weight gain = $$$.

This computer is 100% worth it for someone who can justify its price. My Wahoo Element at half the price is 100% worth it to me.

I think this needs to be pinned so people don't ask why a phone can't be used instead of this device.

If you're worried about the weight of your phone vs this then you're doing everything wrong. Extremely minimal gram difference. The honest answer is from the other poster, that the computer can connect to your power meter and give you data on your rides.

I guess if you have no exposure to the device ecosystem you could say things like this and believe you are right but show me an app that syncs with my rear bike radar to alert and show me how fast a car is approaching. I'll just ask this one thing but I could go on with my power meter, measuring my pedal efficiency and right to left foot power outputs, etc.
